This guide covers the historical background of Sultanabad weaves, design elements of item 110972, and must-have styling tips for North Texas homes.

Persian Sultanabad Weaves Date Back to a Fanciful Story

During the 19th century, Arak (then known as Sultanabad) was established as a world-renowned center of weaving in the west of Persia. As the demand for luxury floor art increased in Europe and America, large trading companies began to set up organized weaving workshops throughout the region in the late 1800s.

The local master weavers picked up traditional Persian designs and incorporated them into the architecture of the Western countries. They enlarged traditional patterns and toned down traditional color schemes. Sultanabad weavers devised open, broad, botanical designs, rather than dense, crowded medallion designs. Sultanabad produced these works, which Sultan Ahmad Shah personally commissioned, to be the hottest choice for large houses throughout Europe and North America.

Nowadays, the original nineteenth-century Sultanabad products are very scarce. Well-preserved examples are in demand from collectors and the best interior designers around the world. Read our comprehensive Vintage Rug Buying Guide for more information about vintage textiles.

Distinct Design Features of Item 110972

Organic Color Palette: Natural dyes take well to the passage of time, creating a desirable abrash finish.

Supple Foundation: The flexible natural cotton warps were a supple foundation, artisanally knotted. The traditional build helps ensure the heavier component rests on surfaces of hard floors.

Anchoring Formal Living Rooms

This 13x15 tile should be under your primary seating area. Make sure the front and back legs of sofas and side chairs are completely on the textile. Woven wide borders outline furniture and create a cozy conversation corner. Read our design guide, Using Rugs to Define Zones, for tips on how to use open spaces.

Elevating the Grand Dining Room

Formal dining rooms will need lots of room on the floor. A 12-person dining table will fit in a 13x15 space. Pullback dining chairs are easily done without hitting chair legs on outer borders.

Softening Transitional Interiors

The muted Sultanabad tones are a mixture of classic architecture and modern furnishings. Match item 110972 with modern sleek furniture or antique furniture. To learn more about the materials and textures that are used in hybrid products, check out our resource on Material Education (Bamboo Silk, Zari).

Protecting Antiques and Vintage Textiles

When you put a rare antique directly on hardwood, stone, or tile, there is unobserved friction wear under the antique. Every day, small pieces of wool are pushed against hard subfloors, creating fine wool knots. In addition, low-quality plastic pads will release toxic chemicals that will permanently leave yellow marks on white oak and marble.

A custom-cut, high-grade underlayment pad is needed to protect item 110972.

Felt and Natural Rubber Hybrid Pads: Dense felt absorbs impact from footsteps, and Natural Rubber provides a strong grip with the subfloor.

Non-Staining Floor Protection: Natural materials won't stain and will protect high-dollar flooring finishes.

Care, Maintenance, and Professional Preservation

To preserve a true 19th-century Sultanabad, one must learn some of the smarter home care habits and acquire the services of a preservation specialist.

Daily Guidelines for Care

Turn Off Rotating Beater Bars on Vacuum: Use a vacuum with just the suction power. Tough bristles ruck up antique wool and cause selvage threads to become loose.

Turn Piece Every Year: Every year, turn your piece 180 degrees. It evenly distributes foot traffic and exposure to sunlight in Texas.

Immediate Spill Protocol: Immediately use a clean white towel to blot up a liquid spill. Avoid scrubbing wet fibers – wool fibers will be damaged by scrubbing, and natural dyes spread. Check out our step-by-step rules for How to Clean Handmade Rugs Without Damage.

Modern Cold Water Immersion Washing

The standard steam cleaners for home are high-temperature and harsh chemical cleaners that can destroy antique wool. Only use specialized cold water immersion washing in a controlled wash facility. Learn about our gentle wash process, read about our Professional Rug Cleaning services. Ask Where can I take an Area Rug to be cleaned? and Rencollection will say, "all over DFW."
